“Governor Cuomo’s State of the State continues to place an important focus on what I believe are the key priorities that have helped put New York State back in the right direction: cutting taxes, controlling state spending, and growing our economy.
Working together in a bipartisan manner over the last four years, we’ve achieved some great things: the lowest income tax and business tax rates in decades, a functioning and fiscally responsible state government, a much improved business climate, and smart investments in economic development, infrastructure, and education. The Governor stated that we must 'keep doing what we’ve been doing,' and I completely agree.
I look forward to reviewing all of the Governor’s proposals in greater detail as the budget process begins. Though there may be differing approaches to achieving our shared goals, we must continue to work together, find common ground, and build on our progress to ensure that New York State continues moving forward.”
